PFFD VSG2

Hi, as I wait for an estimate from Dr Paley's hospital, I would like to get a feel of the cost of super hip operation and lenghthening, and also duration between the super hip operation and lengthening. Are there extra charges/taxes for patients from outside US? Am from Nairobi - Kenya... Please Help

I would love to meet someone who shares PFFD with me. I get a lot of laughs and such but I don't mind. I am used to it. I would however love to talk to people who are just like me. A friend is using her internet to do this but she will give you my phone number if you have free long distance. We can discuss our stories. Not looking for love, but if it happens it happens. So if your male or female that wants to talk please let me know.

Hi, I am new to this site. Did not know it even exsisted. When I first researched about my PFFD there were hardly any information about it. But I am here for anyone to ask any questions. I am 20 years old , so feel free to ask anything.

Hi, my name is Natalie and my daughter Raegyn is 4 months old and has PFFD of her right femor. We're just getting started on our journey and she already had one fracture of the femor. I really don't know what to expect and our doctor is kinda of a fast talker and is telling us that theres nothing to do right now, but as a mother I'm sure that most understand that when there's something wrong with your child your natural reaction is to worry. I would like to get in touch with someone to talk about the what-if's, the what next, and the how comes.

Hello, my name is Amanda, and I am a parent of a little boy with PFFD. Dylan is 2 years old and was diagnosed last September (2009). He is scheduled for a hip osteotomy next summer (2011). I am not really sure what that means, other than that he will be in a cast from his chest to his legs for 4-6 weeks after that. I am afraid what that will mean for him, because he is a VERY active little boy. The reason I joined this website was to connect with other parents about what to expect in the coming months and years; from surgeries - to his entire future.

Hi, My daughter Ayanna has unilateral PFFD. She is now 1yr 3 months, I was wondering how early lenghtening procedures can start? The doctors I have met have told me that they will advice me in due course!! I need to know to plan!! Please help
